[0036] In the present embodiment, snap ring 30 further includes a plurality of foolproof blocks 34, each of which is protruded on base ring 33, and the inner side wall of face ring 20 is further provided with third annular groove 22, which is in communication with second annular groove 21, and each of the foolproof blocks 34 is located in third annular groove 22. Because the volume of the parts of snap ring 30 is small, it is difficult to distinguish the front and back of snap ring 30 without looking closely, and the foolproof blocks 34 on snap ring 30 can be used as assembly foolproof.
[0037] Third annular groove 22 is located below second annular groove 21, each of the foolproof blocks 34 is protruded on the bottom of base ring 33, and the distance between the inner side wall of face ring 20 and the bottom wall of second annular groove 21 is greater than the distance between the inner side wall of face ring 20 and the bottom wall of third annular groove 22, i.e., the depth of second annular groove 21 is greater than the depth of third annular groove 22, so as to match the structure of snap ring 30.
[0038] In some embodiments, base ring 33 is an open ring, thereby enhancing the elasticity of snap ring 30 and enabling snap ring 30 to be quickly sleeved on watchcase 10.
[0039] The first clamping tongues 31 are protruded from the inner side wall of the base ring 33, and the bottom of each first clamping tongue 31 is provided with a first chamfer 311 which can quickly guide the first clamping tongue 31 into the first annular groove 11.
